Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Prerequisites to Monitor Virtual Machines Hosted on Hypervisors
NNMi supports:
-
Discovery and monitoring of supported hypervisors.
On the hypervisor's node form, each virtual machine is listed on the Hosted Nodes tab.
-
Discovery and monitoring of each virtual machine (routers, switches, nodes, etc.).
On the virtual machine's node form, a Hosted On Node attribute shows the hypervisor's name.
The following table describes the pre-requisites for discovering hypervisors and the virtual machines hosted on the hypervisors:
| What you want to discover? | Prerequisite(s) | For more information |
|---|---|---|
| Hypervisor |
The hypervisor must support SNMP communication and be accessible from NNMi using SNMP. |
Not Applicable |
| NNMi must be configured to communicate with the associated SNMP Agent (IP Address and Community String or SNMPv3 authentication). |
To configure using NNMi user interface, see Help for Administrators > Configuring Communication Protocol, see instructions for SNMP settings for Default, Regions, or Specific Nodes. To configure using CLI, see the |
|
|
NNMi must be configured to communicate with the hypervisor using HTTPS. Note VMware only. You must replace the VMware default certificate (localhost.localdomain) with a certificate that is generated using the hostname of the ESXi server. For more information, see the VMware documentation. For example steps to be followed on ESX5.1 and ESX5.5 servers, see Replacing the VMware Default Certificate |
To configure using CLI, see Configuring NNMi to Communicate with Hypervisors Using HTTPS. To configure using NNMi user interface, see Help for Administrators > Configuring Communication Protocol, instructions for Trusted Certificate Settings for Default, Regions, or Specific Nodes. |
|
| Virtual Machines on the hypervisor | In addition to the SNMP requirements mentioned for hypervisors, you need to configure the hypervisor device credentials in NNMi to authenticate with the hypervisor's web-service. |
To configure using NNMi user interface, see Help for Administrators > Configuring Communication Protocol, instructions for Credential Settings for Default, Regions, or Specific Nodes. To configue using CLI, see |
